Question

I’m stumped on this. I’m trying to send an AJAX call by iterating over all the inputs and collecting their val() which is a string.

So that my params would hopefully look like this:

 "action"=>"create",
 "type"=>"zip",
 "value"=> ["12", "13", "14", "14", "15", "16"],
 "controller"=>"admin/distributions",
 "email_id"=>"3"}

This is what I have, but its giving me an [Object object] as a value :

$(".all_of_morris").live("click", function(){
  id = window.location.href.split("/")[5]
  $.ajax({
    type: "POST",
    url: "/admin/emails/" + id + "/distributions",
    dataType: "script",
    data: { $.each($(".morris input"), function(){
      value: $(this).val();
    }),
      type: "zip" }
  });
});

If you need an array for the value property, you can use the jquery map function:

$(".all_of_morris").live("click", function(){
    var data = {};
    data.value = $(".morris input").map(function(){
        return $(this).val();
    }).get();
    data.type = 'zip';
    //..etc
    id = window.location.href.split("/")[5]
    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: "/admin/emails/" + id + "/distributions",
        dataType: "script",
        data: data
    });
});
